Michigan has some lovely black soil left by glaciers. It gives plants a good foundation, especially when amended as these must be. A dream for those of us with thick clay.
Thank you Matthew. I hope you enjoyed your time in Michigan. It is nice to see what the mature version of the things that I have planted will look like. The El Niño will definitely surprise you, I planted it last spring, the rabbits gnawed the shrub to the ground during the winter and I believe the last time I went to the garden it was at least six feet tall and I thought this spring the rabbits had killed it. 🤗 I can’t wait to see what it looks like next summer ! Also nice to see the temple of bloom in a more mature size ! Again thank you Matthew. 🌺💚🙃
Hi Matthew! The gardens there are so beautiful! I'm so glad that you shared this tour with us. How fun that you were able to combine your trip with business and pleasure. Thank you so much for sharing!
I live west of your in Carmel, Indiana. I find your content so relative to our planting zone, and I look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Such an inspired and informative tour of these delicious gardens. Thank you Matthew. Knowing your new garden, it is so interesting to hear your thoughts and see the mature plantings. Cheers.💜💙💚💫
Matthew, that seven sons tree is the host tree for the invasive spotted lantern fly (rose & fruit tree killer) which will be coming to your state within the next five years. Just thought I'd warn you about future heartache because once they find your tree, you will never eradicate them from your garden.
Jessica is correct. The Seven Son’s Tree (heptacodium) is not the host tree. The host tree is ailanthus altissima, which is commonly referred to as the “Tree of Heaven”
At 19:26, I am not catching the name of that plant. Close captioning is spelling it wrong so it’s hard for me to find it on the Proven Winners site. Please spell it here. I hope you enjoyed your trip! Thank you
Hi Matthew. We appreciate this tour. We are still having difficulty identifying the different hydrangeas , esp. panicle ones. We want to decide which ones to plant. Unfortunately when we see them if they are not identified every time we are unsure what they are. We do not necessarily appreciate the pink colors as much as we do the white. You are so articulate & have a pleasant voice. I hope you will continue to educate us on all things hydrangea and other plants! Thank you so much! PS: Does the Alaska cedar grow well in your area & other Mid-West locations? (I love their form & look. I noticed Laura at Garden Answer has recently planted a bunch of them.) Happy Gardening!
Paniculatas can look similar. I’d recommend you start with your sizing constraints first, then pick a bloom you like. Newer varieties tend to have stronger stems and some bloom earlier than others. So there really is an option out there for everyone depending on your needs.
I noticed that about no weeds. How is that possible in a garden that large? They must have a really big crew of workers. Thanks for the tour. Many of those plants are impossible to grow in zone 9a where I live on the Gulf Coast.

Awesome tour. I am really leaving a lot more spaces around plants as I see these newer introductions growing beyond the sizes stated on their tags.
I’m rewatching this… miss u!!! Looking forward to spring 2025🌸🌼🌺
Great tour Matthew! I think that Powerball will be a winner!😊

Great to know! I have been getting serious about planting an El Niño soon, and the rabbits do eat some of my plants.

Many of the American youtube gardeners l follow visit this beautiful garden and l never get bored of it!
The hydrangeas are so stunning! Amazing garden.

Thank you, this was such a treat, amazing garden!
Thanks! I can live vicariously for you since it would be really hard to get all those hydrangea to grow out here in my arid Colorado yard.
Thank you for the tour Mathew. Hope you are enjoying your trip. Looks so peaceful.
We all dream to have a garden like this in our next life. Amazing. Thank you for taking us on this glorious tour.

Thanks Matthew. I bet you enjoyed every minute of your time here.

2:23 nice color...love it
Such a beautiful place. What a great combination of skills and expertise you have.
I was able to visit the test garden this year and it is stunning! I started rethinking my perennial flowers and started adding more PW shrubs.

I thought that was the invasive plant, "tree of heaven"?

It is a trial garden, so there are people there all the time to evaluate the shrubs and maintain the beds.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was hoping you were going to say larger specimens of your plants
Did you ask them how on earth they have no weeds?😅
Many people pulling them constantly! 😆
Can anyone visit these gardens
?
No they are trial gardens not open to the public.
